Who among you here is gambling at work?

[bettercrypto]

If you able to manage working and gambling at workplace altogether then good for you  even though that doesn't mean it is that so simple for others to manage it that way too. There are people that can quickly get carried away that they use extra work time to continue in their gambling at a supposed time when break should be over, and because not everyone has the ability to manage it all together in good thats why organisations frown against gambling at workplace and abhor workers who would want to mix work with gambling because it will most likely affect productiveness of the worker no matter how they may try to be in control of how they gamble.
Fun is necessary at workplace but not with through gambling there's high possibility of a loophole for low productivity no matter what.

Not only gambling but also other activities that can distract an employee in attending to his work.  Aside from that, the company sees it unfair to see their employee using their working time for gambling thus, if the employee is caught, the company will impose a penalty or punishment to the guilty employee.

Aside from that, some employee are unable to control their emotion and when they lose their gambling activity, their performance in their work is affected resulting in getting agitated easily or making errors and mistakes with their work.  The efficiency of these employees becomes lower thus, the company is losing as a result.

If we value our jobs then better to remove all distractions and perform at optimum so that the company will feel that they are right in employing us and probably will think of giving us a raise.

For an employee that gambles at work be it break time or not, the simple caption is that such employee doesn't take his job serious and important to him and what he rather priotize is the gambling over his job, and I be his employer I would relieve him of his job so he can go home  and have more time to gamble.

Gambling and work can't romance cordially it's either the individual would give more attention to one than the other it can not be balance which turns out to be a loss to the organization because time meant for work would be divided by interest leading to low productivity, mistakes on the job done due to non concentration and others.

Then it's not right for you to gamble during work hours; you're a very irresponsible employee when you do that, right? And there is also a big chance that your job will be terminated if you are caught by a superior or someone sees that you are a co-worker and reports you to your superior.

If work is important to you or us, don't bring the tendency to play gambling to our work because your focus and attention will be divided for sure, and then your work will not be balanced; in short, it will affect our career.

Instead of just gambling, even playing games on a smartphone can be reported to superiors if our colleagues don't like seeing us playing that game.
This will endanger our jobs. If our superiors find out, we can easily be fired because we have violated the rules in the office. We can play games or gamble, but we must look at the situation and conditions and wait to do it while working.
We don't want to jeopardize our position in the office. For this reason, we must be able to manage our time for work and gambling so that nothing is disturbed.

I would rather postpone my gambling time than have my work disrupted because I can get a salary from that job. And that means I can meet my family's living needs.

The thing is that, even if you manage to gamble in work time and not get fired, your performance will definitely lower.

And also, at the end of the day, you will lose more money than what you are generating, so you will have to work longer for the same amount of money. Doesn't make too much sense.

Cant agree more. I have been thinking while constantly seeing this topic coming up when I visit the gambling board, is gambling at work an early sign of gambling addiction?
Certainly, this isn't the place to make your bets. I could maybe understand if you have plans on betting on a specific match especially when you forgot to place a bet when you're still at home. But doing gambling games with your mobile phone or computer in the office is something really alarming. And yeah you are right, it will most definitely affect your productivity, thus losing money not only because you're losing bets, but you're also losing customers or clients as well due to the fact that you are ineffective with your role.

Exactly. Gambling during work time is what we must avoid so that our work performance does not decline just because of gambling and so that we can complete all our work on time. But if they still often gamble during their work activities, we can only hope that their superiors don't find out or report it to their colleagues so that they are fired later.

When someone loses money, their emotions will increase and it impacts their psychology, influencing what they are doing at that time. They will lose focus at work because they think about the problem of losing money in gambling and are still thinking about how to recover their losses.
They must immediately end their gambling activities in the office to stay focused on their work.

[blockman]

I don't do that but if a co-worker knows that you do and that person is jealous on what you do, you'll probably receive an IR from your HR. Especially in the work culture in my country, if you're not the superior position then you'll have to be asked for so many times with favor that will be commanded to you and that's how you get along with them. But if you're in a higher position then that's nothing for the subordinates that you have. There's a term on that type of person that uses your work time in doing something else regardless of what it is, and that's likely near to be called as a jerk.

Because gambling can spend a long time without us realizing it, that way it will delay existing work even though the main job is our main source of income, gamble well you can know where it's time to play and to work. As you said, even if you don't get caught by the boss, it will definitely have an impact on our work, which of course is our own responsibility.

Come on guys, losing your main job because of gambling is not a funny thing bro. In my opinion, when that happens, that person is the stupidest person, why is that? Because they are willing to lose their main income which is clear for a game that is not clear that it can provide income every day. In fact, it will make them miserable in the future, yes, although there are people who are successful because of gambling but like this, don't make it a motivation because basically gambling will only harm.

Yes, let's just say your performance at work is affected or you are not getting caught by now. The time will probably come when your gambling activity will get caught. Stop while it's early, and avoid unnecessary activities during work, especially gambling. No one should risk their job just to satisfy themself in gambling. Activity such as gambling especially during work will affect the whole career of anyone not just their current work.

Not only that, it's also hard for other people to make them realize that risking their money while working will not do anything good. They prefer to have their hope of winning big through gambling than to focus on the work that provides their needs.

[BitcoinTurk]

I have absolutely no habit of gambling at work or during working hours because I know that this will have a significant impact on my work performance. In particular, losing money in gambling and losing the last money of a low-income person in gambling, unfortunately, doesn't only have a negative financial impact on the person but also has a very serious negative impact in terms of psychological and morale. For this reason, I definitely don't gamble at work or during working hours in order not to compromise my work performance and efficiency.

Talking about my co-workers I know that at least my co-workers in my close don't gamble during working hours or at work. I don't know whether this is due to a reason like the one I mentioned or whether it is because they don't have a gambling habit because when we chat with these people gambling isn't the subject of our conversations much.

Yes, a person's career will be ruined if they are addicted to gambling and play it in their workplace. Of course this is not a small problem even though not caught by the boss does not mean they are safe, maybe they are safe at work but not safe mentally because it will slowly damage their mindset and damage their finances.  That will certainly lead them into addiction which will have a bad impact.

They can spend all their money on gambling even though they have other responsibilities that are more important than gambling. And it's true what you say when they play gambling during working hours they will focus more on gambling by ignoring the work at hand so that their work is never finished. Moreover, performance will decrease which will make the work less optimal.

I don't do that but if a co-worker knows that you do and that person is jealous on what you do, you'll probably receive an IR from your HR. Especially in the work culture in my country, if you're not the superior position then you'll have to be asked for so many times with favor that will be commanded to you and that's how you get along with them. But if you're in a higher position then that's nothing for the subordinates that you have. There's a term on that type of person that uses your work time in doing something else regardless of what it is, and that's likely near to be called as a jerk.

Correct. There are too many eyes in the workplace so this is not a good habit to do the gambling thing in those types of places. There's a way though, we have our phones but we will have to pay for the data so that we can manage to gamble. I think paying that will not be a problem for the gambling addicts but this will devour a lot of time instead of finishing the work early and doing it after that. I do believe that's better than doing it first.
It's true that there are superiors who will use their power against us especially if we are a candidate for receiving the higher position and let's not waste that opportunity just because of our bad gambling habit. It can always wait while being promoted cannot be. We need that for a better payroll and then we can have more space on our budget to gamble.
We always have our day-offs/weekends to play, it's not like gambling sites are going to run away, they will always be there waiting for us.

Maybe we are still fine gambling and no one notices, but we can't always think we can always be safe gambling at work. There will be times when we will be caught gambling at work because people will suspect us, especially if our performance often declines. They will find out what causes our performance to decline and if they finally find out that we are gambling, they will definitely do something about us and maybe they will report it to our superiors.

If this is the case, we will experience difficulties at work because if our superiors find out what we do at work apart from work, our superiors will give us a warning letter to do it again. But if we continue gambling at work and they find us gambling, maybe there won't be a warning letter for us but our boss can immediately fire us. We have to realize that we are already working and getting a salary while many people are still scrambling to find work. We should be grateful that we are luckier than them.

Not only is gambling at work dangerous, its also a waste of time. Just think about it: how many times have we seen people get caught up in these bad habits and miss out on precious chances? Its impossible to resist the allure of a cell phone and easy access to these sites. Even though the price of data might not seem very high, the real cost is the time, chances, and scrutiny that could be lost.

Places of work are great places to observe others. Since bosses are always watching, gambling can hurt your chances of getting ahead. Why waste the chance to get promoted and make more money? To put it another way, arent we moving towards a better future, both in terms of our jobs and our pay? You must put that ahead of any short-term pleasure you might get from gaming. Friday and Saturday are for a reason. There will always be a draw to gambling sites, so why not wait until its really our turn?

or maybe if he becomes addicted, maybe he not come to work and will prioritize gambling and choose to gamble at home more comfortably and sacrifice work just for the sake of gambling because of addiction, usually his mind is always dominated by gambling and wants to do gambling activities without wanting to do other activities.

and the real bad impact if someone forces themselves to gamble at work is actually not just about losing their career or job, but the bad impact if someone gambles at work becomes greedy and uses office money or company money to gamble and lose. this kind of behavior will not only destroy his career but his future will end badly If he is caught using company money to gamble in large amounts, the company will definitely ask him to return the money or report it to the authorities.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.

This will lead to suspension and getting fired from the job not to mention losing your opportunity to get a promotion, you will also have a bad reputation on your work and you be on the watch list of the supervisors and bosses.

Gambling while at work is the easiest way to lose one's job, it is just as bad as being incompetent in the office, this is like stealing your work time and the management don't want thief in their rank and files.

[uchegod-21]

Doing personal stuffs during work hours goes against work ethics. You will be highly distracted which might affect your productivity at work. No organisation wants a worker who is not productive. We all know how sensitive gambling is, it  shouldn't mix with official duties for any reason, except you are ready to lose your job, the game and even yourself.

Gambling on its own is a risky adventure, Putting your job at stake is even riskier because no employer will pardon an employee who gambles during work hours.  Gambling without a job will only make you miserable, gambling needs funding.

Only addiction can make one gamble while at work.  This is not healthy.  We need to manage our time and activities well. While we advocate that gambling should be for fun, gamble wisely so other aspects of your life are not affected negatively.

[Silberman]

People need to use their common sense, if someone at the office catches you playing solitaire or attending a personal call no one is going to make a big deal about it, but if one of your coworkers sees that you are gambling you can be sure they will report you and then you may get fired for not giving your full attention to your job, and with good reason as the company you work for does not pay you to gamble but to do your job properly, something that gambling at the office will not allow you to do.

Funny how you say this so easily but yet so many folk still fall victim of this character, human are some crazy set of being and tend to the opposite of what's expected of them always, and that's why no.matter how you think people should be smart and avoid playing gambling at their work place some crazy f**CK humans will still fall victim, well most cases won't results to a severe case but just like what you said some case will turn out to be some crazy and get the person even sacked.

I understand people are not perfectly rational and they may do things just because they are forbidden as they get excited thinking about the possibility of getting caught and getting away with it anyway, however there is a massive difference between some of the risky behaviors some people can take and gambling at your job is not a good idea, because as we mention this could get you fired, and taking into account the state of the economy and how difficult it can be to get a good job then risking your job over something that nonsensical is a big mistake.

If we are suspended and end up being fired, we will suffer a loss because we will lose the job that can provide us with a salary. But because we have violated the rules at the office, we cannot defend ourselves because we gambled during working hours. Some offices will notify other offices about workers who have poor performance and bad reputations so that fired workers cannot apply for jobs at any office. This will make things difficult for us when we want to look for other jobs.

But if someone cannot differentiate between working time and gambling time, there is a possibility that they have a gambling addiction. He didn't seem to care where he was or what he was doing because he just wanted to fulfill his desire to gamble. We have to be careful about this and don't let us experience this because this will have an impact on our personal lives later.

Better not to risk or try it up because once we are on our work place then it would really be just that right that you should really be focusing on the job or work that you are assigned into.
Yes, you might be able to get some chance or moment for you to do some gambling online with your mobile phone but always think up that there's someone who is really that watching you when it comes to behavior and performance overall. If they would really be seeing you on someone who arent that efficient when it comes to jobs given due to those side activities then you are really that putting yourself on such potential trouble which you might really be getting up on getting fired and this is something that we dont really like to happen.

This is why getting that confident that you can do all sorts of things that you do like could really be applied on some places specially on which you do work.
Therefore, it would really be always better that you should really be that avoiding on such thing when you are on work yet it could totally wait you up when you are at home.
Dont tolerate that kind of gambling urge when you are in workplace so that there would really be no possible problems that might occur.

[Kelvinid]

Gambling is not bad but of course, that must be placed in the right place and at the right time. In fact, we have break time or could be made after office hours. if we really care about ourselves, and our job, and are dedicated to working for the company, we should not try or have to do this.

Gambling at work is not really a good habit and the consequences are...
 - getting fired from the job
 - low performance
 - losses
